Hot Topics in State and Local Tax 2023 | Practising Law Institute (PLI) | 14 March 2023 | PLI New York & Online, 1177 Avenue of the Americas, Entrance on 45th Street, New York,

During 2022, we have watched the economic dialogue change from potentially leaping into the “roaring 20s,” to being on the brink of a recession. This shift will likely require states to transition from dealing with tax surpluses to shortfalls. As a result, controversy may increase in an effort to generate tax revenues, despite staffing shortages and turnover at the state/local taxing authorities. Regardless of tax revenues/shortfalls, the digital economy and the environment continue to be key themes in the tax arena. Digital continues to evolve at a rapid pace with new terms such as the metaverse, Web3, and blockchain pervading our culture, businesses, and tax landscape. In addition, tax professionals are learning a new language related to green/sustainable initiatives as reflected in the Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) and other state/local/utility incentives programs.

For tax practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of these state/local tax topics, PLI is delighted to present this half-day program in which leading state and local tax experts will address these dynamic developments and trends.

What You Will Learn?
After completing this program, participants will be able to:
• Understand existing state and local tax controversy trends
• Identify the state/local tax considerations of the metaverse, Web3, and blockchain
• Recognize the federal, state, local, and utility incentives opportunities available as a result of sustainable/green investments
